I Luv Pictures!
(Not here yet.)

You reminded me of how when my daughter, Jennifer, was born, her face was round and squished, and her eyes were tightly shut - full head of dark hair.

In the AF Hospital at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota, to feed your baby, you went to the Nursery and picked it up - then went to a common dining room to feed them with the other mamas.

That way, they could go in and clean and change the beds in your room without disturbing you.

I honestly held up the blanket high not to hide my 'body,' but to hide her from view..:))
She was three days old before her eyes opened, and they were grey rather than blue!

Of course, she transformed into a beautiful little girl in no time...but...not all newborn babies are pretty - lol

This hospital has a wonderful maternity ward. The baby stays with the parents in the room. Roy has slept on a cot in the room since Emma was born. He was with his wife through the C-Section too. He held Emma before her Mama did. I'm really proud of the courage he has shown, in spite of the fact that he said he felt like his heart was being ripped out when they cut his wife. He hung in there.
